[PATCH 8/8] dma-buf: use inline lock for the dma-fence-chain

by Christian König

Using the inline lock is now the recommended way for dma_fence implementations. So use this approach for the framework's internal fences as well. Also saves about 4 bytes for the external spinlock.

[PATCH 4/8] dma-buf: inline spinlock for fence protection v5

by Christian König

Implement per-fence spinlocks, allowing implementations to not give an external spinlock to protect the fence internal state. Instead a spinlock embedded into the fence structure itself is used in this case. Shared spinlocks have the problem that implementations need to guarantee that the lock lives at least as long all fences referencing them. Using a per-fence spinlock allows completely decoupling spinlock producer and consumer life times, simplifying the handling in most use cases. v2: improve naming, coverage and function documentation v3: fix one additional locking in the selftests v4: separate out some changes to make the patch smaller, fix one amdgpu crash found by CI systems v5: improve comments Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig(a)amd.com> Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon(a)collabora.com> --- drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++----- drivers/dma-buf/sync_debug.h | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_writeback.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c | 3 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_release.c | 3 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_fence.c | 3 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_hw_fence.c | 3 ++- include/linux/dma-fence.h | 19 +++++++++++++------ 9 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c index bd4ec7e26dae..39f0a4d08a2d 100644 --- a/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c +++ b/drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c @@ -343,7 +343,6 @@ void __dma_fence_might_wait(void) } #endif - /** * dma_fence_signal_timestamp_locked - signal completion of a fence * @fence: the fence to signal @@ -1068,7 +1067,6 @@ static void __dma_fence_init(struct dma_fence *fence, const struct dma_fence_ops *ops, spinlock_t *lock, u64 context, u64 seqno, unsigned long flags) { - BUG_ON(!lock); BUG_ON(!ops || !ops->get_driver_name || !ops->get_timeline_name); kref_init(&fence->refcount); @@ -1080,10 +1078,15 @@ __dma_fence_init(struct dma_fence *fence, const struct dma_fence_ops *ops, */ RCU_INIT_POINTER(fence->ops, ops); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fence->cb_list); - fence->lock = lock; fence->context = context; fence->seqno = seqno; fence->flags = flags | BIT(DMA_FENCE_FLAG_INITIALIZED_BIT); + if (lock) { + fence->extern_lock = lock; + } else { + spin_lock_init(&fence->inline_lock); + fence->flags |= BIT(DMA_FENCE_FLAG_INLINE_LOCK_BIT); + } fence->error = 0; trace_dma_fence_init(fence); @@ -1093,7 +1096,7 @@ __dma_fence_init(struct dma_fence *fence, const struct dma_fence_ops *ops, * dma_fence_init - Initialize a custom fence. * @fence: the fence to initialize * @ops: the dma_fence_ops for operations on this fence - * @lock: the irqsafe spinlock to use for locking this fence + * @lock: optional irqsafe spinlock to use for locking this fence * @context: the execution context this fence is run on * @seqno: a linear increasing sequence number for this context * @@ -1103,6 +1106,10 @@ __dma_fence_init(struct dma_fence *fence, const struct dma_fence_ops *ops, * * context and seqno are used for easy comparison between fences, allowing * to check which fence is later by simply using dma_fence_later(). + * + * It is strongly discouraged to provide an external lock because this couples + * lock and fence life time.

HIRE SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY TO RECLAIM YOUR LOST OR SCAMMED FUNDS FROM FAKE TRADING PLATFORM

by fredruben148＠gmail.com

Hello my name is Fred Ruben and i want to share my story with you. I've always prided myself on being financially savvy, but falling for a fake Forex platform was a harsh wake up call. I’ve been in trading for a long time, mostly sticking to traditional stock investments and the occasional dabble in options. But when the pandemic hit and I found myself with more time at home, I started reading about Forex trading. I did my research or at least I thought I did. I read articles, joined online forums, and watched YouTube tutorials. Eventually, I came across what seemed like a legitimate trading company. It had great reviews and what appeared to be a solid track record of success. The brokers on the platform were very responsive, and I quickly got assigned a personal trade assistant, who managed my portfolio and handled my trading. I started out small with a modest $10,000 investment to test the waters, and within a few days, I was seeing profits. The numbers looked great, and before I knew it, I had invested a total of $235,000. After a few months, I decided it was time to take some profits out. I was planning to withdraw to cover some expenses, and I submitted a withdrawal request through the platform but I was met with an error message. I reached out to my advisor but the friendly tone of my advisor suddenly turned cold and dismissive, encouraging me to keep retrying the attempt and then, one day, he stopped responding entirely leaving me feeling completely helpless but at that point, all I could think about was how to get my money back. Thankfully, After some desperate Google searches, I was fortunate to find SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY, and I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone in a similar situation. The team at SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY walked me through the entire process. Apparently, the platform I had invested in was part of a larger network of fake trading sites that had defrauded hundreds of people and within a couple of days of tracing my funds, the team successfully recovered the total sum I had lost safely back into my bank accounts. If you’re reading this and you’re in a similar situation with a supposed online investment, quickly reach out to the team at SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY using any of the contact information below Telegram→ @Salvageasset Whats +18476547096 EMAIL→ Salvageassetrecovery(a)alumni.com

There was already a warning added like ~5years ago that implementations shouldn't use the wait callback. Completely independent of this patch set here we already had tons of trouble with it because it can't take into account when userpsace waits for multiple fences from different implementations. It potentially was never a good idea to have in the first place, we basically only had it because radeon (and IIRC nouveau at that point) depended on it. Regards, Christian.

Adding the RCU annotation and related logic, e.g. rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()/rcu_dereference() etc... This allows the automated statically RCU checker to validate what we do here and point out potential mistakes. Additional to that should adding the rcu_read_lock() protection cause performance problems it will bisect to this patch here alone. > Adding RCU here does not yet change behavior and it does not solve the > unloading problem, does it? Nope, no functional behavior change.
